eBay

What is eBay?

eBay was founded in 1994 and started as an auction site. Although auctions remain a very important part of the sales offering, eBay has increasingly become a marketplace – if not bidding, buyers can decide how much they would like to pay for a product via ‘buy it now’ or ‘make an offer’ buttons.

The company makes it incredibly easy to begin selling on their site with lower fees than can be found on most other sites. Alongside this, sellers are protected by seller protection and monitoring, as well as regular promotions to encourage buying and selling such as no listing fee weekends or money off when spending over a certain amount.

It’s deliberately straightforward to list items for sale. Brands and retailers have widened their ecommerce offering by including eBay because of their trusted brand and the sheer of number of customers available. Alongside this, there is the opportunity to promote your listing to customers via sponsored placements across the website.

With 2.98 billion customers and roughly 185 million active customers around the world, eBay should definitely be part of your ecommerce strategy.
